Chem A level help
(see below)
Why is the "actual kJ/mol of hydrogenation of benzene" 152 kJ/mol?
I know you have to do 3(120) - 208 = 152 but why??

It's to do with the delocalisation making benzene more stable
152kj/mol is the difference between the kekule structure value for hydrogenation and the delocalised models value for hydrogenation.
Please use the chem guide link below to understand - tbh chemguide and the calculations guide by Jim Clark will get you an A* in chem
